I accidentally added someone to my friend list that I didn't intend to, but once it was done I couldn't find any options anywhere to remove them, is there really no removing someone once added or am I just missing something in all the menus?

I have gone through 300 turns of achieving global domination and eradicating all other factions - or so I thought. I keep getting warnings every so often that a trickster cult belonging to the Deceivers has been found beneath the settlements I took from the Empire. However, I've built max tier watch buildings in every settlement on that entire continent, and haven't found a single hidden army, unit, or anything useful. Are these just random events that happen in that region even if the Deceivers have been destroyed, or is there still one more faction hiding out that has never been found that I'm going to have to go on a hunt for?

I decided to do something very silly; I'm playing a game as gaia world origin Rogue Servitors, where I spawned a large map with no AI empires, no FEs, no Marauders, just space fauna, pre-FTLs, presapients, and an eventual crisis. The end goal is to control the entire galaxy, turn every planet into a gaia world, and put biotrophies on them all, and uplift every single biological into the loving arms of biotrophy-ness. I will not commit to war or aggression against organics, and must seek to build observation posts on a world as soon as I find a pre-FTL.

There's just one problem. A pre-FTL achieved early and now controls the entire other side of the galaxy before I made it there. They are

I was playing around with the Knights rush strat and by 2300 I was into pure repeatable tech - I thought - so I turned on auto research and let it go, and missed it bringing up research options for space fauna ships.

I then attacked a fanatic purifier empire that used space fauna ships, and sent science ships in to research their debris, which gave me various space fauna upgrade tech as guaranteed research options. This led to some interesting interactions between what I can only assume was having that research but not having any space fauna ships to apply it to, where the auto research would research them instantly, over, and over, and over, and over, on an infinite loop of rapidly alerti

So I started a Wilderness empire with a typical species build including Shelled and Rapid Breeders, and find out that, really, both traits don't do much for Wilderness because your actual pop count stays low due to the mechanics, which... Okay, learning curve.

So I restart, redo my traits. Might as well build for armies then, I think, if pops don't really count for anything mechanically except as a resource. But no, your armies are presapient hordes and, from what I could tell, not influenced by things like Very Strong or Flight given to the actual species. Okay... Learning curve....

Noxious Lithoids with Radiotrophic, just so tomb worlds can be a thing for my empire too where other e

I'm in a game with friends and am in an odd situation where I became a scholarium for another player to help boost their research. If I remember correctly, scholariums pay a research tax to their overlord of 30% of their research minimum, which blocks research agreements between the overlord and vassal. However, research cooperatives say that all members are automatically granted research agreements with each other on joining - does this bypass the block from scholarium?

I am having trouble making it past some fights in game, but especially the second 'chapter' of Alliance. The enemies there recover more HP per second than I can dish out. I don't think it's a level issue because the one time I lucksacked my way past the healing mobs I beat that boss and made it all the way to the next with no issue. But if I don't lucksack it a few mobs just end up chewing through the HP of every team I have while they sit at full health because they heal back to full every second or two.

This makes me think there's some ability I need to have for those enemies, but just googling for anti healing cookies isn't giving me much of anything helpful. Which cookies should I b

I play on a very slow 'fixed wireless' internet service. They cap our download speed around 150-200kbps, for example. (No, there are no other options, and no other possibilities. Living super-rural is not fun and games and I'm not really looking for input on how bad my ISP is. We know. We all know.)

I played briefly and did fine through the opening of the game, but once I had to do a multiplayer mission, it was very slow and laggy, and impossible to play. I checked my system manager to make sure something wasn't sucking up my internet, and as it turned out, _Darktide itself_ was responsible. It was constantly using up 60-80kbps which is depending on how our ISP is feeling that day,

My local carrier is turning off 3G at the end of the month. I took my phone, a G7 Power XT1955-5 in, because it wasn't getting VoLTE. Now they roam onto AT&T towers to offer nationwide coverage, they claim, and this model number is, according to AT&T, compatible with their network. But the person in the local carrier's office wouldn't even look at the phone and simply told me I would have to replace it, because Motorola's VoLTE just doesn't work on their system, for some reason, and then immediately started trying to get me to sign up for a cheap outdated Samsung phone as a free replacement. I have never seen a Samsung phone that could get a signal on my property. I picked Motorol

My local carrier is killing 3G at the end of the month. I never bothered to pay attention because my phone, g7 power xt1955-5 says VoLTE is supported, however today when roaming onto AT&T for the first time in a long time, I was unable to make or receive calls. Some checking and, sure enough, VoLTE wasn't working, I was dropping to H and losing internet for calls, and AT&T now requires VoLTE. So I went into my phone settings where the Motorola help said to look, but there are no such settings available on my Power's settings options. There's no enhanced LTE toggle, or anything related to it.

I can't afford a new phone, especially given these phones were purchased just two years

Short version: Parents didn't double check outlets, I didn't remind them to. The dryer has an older, 3 prong outlet, but the new place has a 4 prong outlet in the wall. I keep seeing that it isn't safe to go from a 4 prong plug to a 3 prong outlet, but no one much talking about the reverse. Is it safe? Because it is going to take disconnecting three appliances and rearranging half a house to pull the dryer out far enough to replace the cable entirely and they really want to know if an adapter is acceptable in this scenario

I found my old NES from childhood and tried booting it up. The power light blinks like there's no game in, and no video through the RF connector (I know, but the RF connector was the only one in the box and I didn't have cables laying around.) I cleaned my game thoroughly, I took the cover and shield off and blew out the dust and cobwebs, and when that didn't fix it, I read guides, tried boiling the 72 pin connector, and it did drastically increase the contact, but still the power light blinks like there's no game in except for *once* when I was tapping the power button a few times it did come on and stay on - but I never got a picture, and it never stayed on again.

I live in the middle

I read it in middle school, so it would have been written before the early 2000s.

Some teens play generic d&d and got cursed minis that send them into a very dark and grim fantasy setting. But they all got characters that were wrong. The pushy intelligent guy who led the party in the games became a big muscular low int character who couldn't think very well which was a personal hell for him. I think there was a character named Will. I remember some plot elements, like they stayed at a monastery and found out the inhabitants were monsters who lured travelers in and killed them, then ground their bones into meal to grow wheat for bread. There was a crystal pyramid cage around an item
